Miami Hospital Negligence Attorneys

Types of Hospital Negligence

Hospitals carry a constant responsibility to provide every patient with safe and effective care. Failing to meet this requirement can harm patients and open the hospital and any companies that own or operate it to liability.

Hospital negligence occurs when failures within a hospital’s staff, administration, or systems result in a serious injury to a patient. Whatever the underlying causes, the consequences can be life-changing for patients and their families. No matter what happened, we’ll always be standing by and ready to stand up for our clients.

Common examples of hospital negligence that we’ve seen in claims and lawsuits include:

• Inadequate staffing
• Unsanitary conditions
• Medication errors
• Emergency room errors
• Surgical errors
• Failure to properly monitor patients
• Failure to maintain equipment
• Birth injuries
• Anesthesia errors
• Patient discharge and follow-up failures
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Ignoring patient complaints or symptoms
